File number in the data store
Dear friends, I have a guest running who has two folder in the same database as folder name 1 as 004 (original case) and file name 2 004_1 (duplicate record). How to combine these two documents as a as 004? because the vmx and vmdk files are resides in the 004_1 folder created by v motion, and I want to move all the files to the original file 004 and delete 004_1. any solution? Please find the attachment.
Hi Sammy the problem is solved, I have also migrated from the vm, one host to the other and tried to delete these files and folder in the store of emission data and the 'yes', it is deleted.

The snapshot files exist on the data store, but not in the Snapshot Manager
I searched for a question of space on one of our virtual machines throughout the morning. I finally found that the virtual machine has two snapshot files (total of 120 GB) on the data store.
The problem is that these pictures are not in the snapshot
Manager. How can I get rid of these files from snapshots, recover the 120 GB drive
space and keep everything in tact?
Thank you all.

Remove-disk hard leaves file hard on the data store
Hello world!
I'm writing a powershell script to remove VHDs from a virtual machine.
I can use Remove - hard drive to detach from the virtual machine, but it seems to leave the VMDK files on the data store. Is there a way to physically remove the disks too?
Thank you

Combining the VM with files in the data store
I apologize for the very basic question.
I have a few ESXi servers and I need to associate each VM with the related directory inside the data store and each direxctory within the data with the associated directory store.
With the command:
SE connect-VIServer-Server 192.168.1.1 - user root - < password >
I connect with the server.
With the command
Get - vm
I get a list of all VM with the State and the amount of memory, the number of vCPU
- How can I get path for each computer listed virtual, to the related .vmx file?
- How to browse the data store, the list of the .vmx file and for each .vmx file, get the name of the associated virtual machine?
- What manual download to find the emanations of the arguments of the command get-vm and qualifying?
Concerning
Marius
The Get - VM by default displays a selection of properties.
You can ask all the properties
Get - VM | Select *.
or some specific
Get - VM | Select name, Description
You can even access the real object of the SDK VirtualMachine
Get - VM | Select Name,@{N="VMX; E={$_. Extensiondata.Config.Files.VmPathName}}
PowerCLI comes with a data store provider.
It is documented in the vSphere PowerCLI Admin Guide, which is installed with PowerCLI.
With the provider, you can list the files .vmx on data warehouses.
To find the name of the corresponding client, you will need to retrieve the DisplayName of the .vmx file field.

Rename files within the data store
Hi all
I'm trying to rename some folders and files in my local data store.
That's what I see in my local data store
/
TestBiz-(il s'agit d'une machine Virtuelle)
. SDD.SF
TestNav-(il s'agit d'une machine Virtuelle)
Apps
images
TestBiz contains
TestBiz01.vmdk
TestBiz01 - 000001.vmdk
TestBiz01.vmx
TestBiz01.nvram
VMware.log
TestBiz01.vmsd
Now my problem is the following. The names of the two virtual machines must be lit. TestBiz must be TestNav. If I rename not only the record, but the files themselves who will break my servers?
I am aware of the mixture to the top, but I don't want others in the future to get confused.
Any help would be great
Thanks in advance
Welcome to the community,
There was a current discussion on VMs rename (change the name of files and folders in data warehouses) which also contains links to some articles in the KB. However, in your case, the virtual machine has an active snapshot, and you should definitely remove the snapshot before you rename the virtual computer!
BTW. where the virtual machine is managed in a vCenter server environment, you can automatically rename the virtual machine by changing the name of the virtual machine in the inventory of the GUI and then he migrate to another data store.

0 blocks free PTR - cannot create new files on the data store
We have been experiencing problems trying to power on virtual machines. When attempting to power on virtual machines, we see the error "cannot extend the pagefile from 0 KB to 2097152 KB".
We checked the .vswp file are created in the folder of the Virtual Machine on the data store. Connection to the ESXi host, we have seen the following in vmkernel.log error message:

We solved the problem by finding a lot PTR blocks have been used by many of our models of virtual machine. Remove the disk models solved the problem.

I have ESXi 4.1 and with vSphere Client to manage virtual machines.
Some of my users continue to use the 'remove from inventory"rather than the option" remove disc "in vSphere when they want to delete the virtual machine.
This leaves the computer virtual on the data store but not used. I have since removed this privilege among the offending users but I need to do a bit of cleaning.
I have a lot of files on the data store where users have done this in recent years. Probably about 150 records but only 80 VM listed in the inventory.
Is there a way I can output, a report showing the data of each machine store directory in inventory so that I can remove anything not on this list? ID rather not to manually check the parameters of all 80 VM in the inventory.
Out ideal would be something like:
MyVmNameHere 1, \MyVmDirectoryHere1\ [DataStore1]
MyVmNameHere2, \MyVmDirectoryHere2\ [DataStore1]
A great tool to discover all this and much more is RVTools

Unable to download the file to the data store
Hello
Can someone help me on this, I'm trying to download a file to the local data store on the esxi host, but its failure
used as below
$ds = get-data center 'test ' | Get-file "CISCO UCS B200 M3 | Get-VMHost | Get-Datastore "datastore."
$destination = "\".
$source = "D:\All Cisco\ENICandFNIC readers for UCSver2.2.C\updated drivers" - this folder
New-PSDrive-location $ds - name VimDatastore - PSProvider ds-root $destination
Set-Location ds:------.
Copy-DatastoreItem-point $source - Destination $destination
What error messages you get? When I run your script, only an empty folder is performed on the data store. When you add "-recurse" it also copies child items (files and directories)
$ds = Get-Datacenter "test" |Get-Folder "CISCO UCS B200 M3"|Get-VMHost |Get-Datastore "datastore*"
$destination = "\"
$source = 'D:\Test ' # -- this folder
New-PSDrive -Location $ds -Name ds -PSProvider VimDatastore -Root $destination
Set-Location ds:\ New-PSDrive -Location $ds -Name ds -PSProvider VimDatastore -Root $destination
Copy-DatastoreItem -Item $source -Destination $destination -Recurse
But it's only 1 data store, if I understand your example, you are trying to copy to different data stores. This could easily be done like this:
$DS = Get-Datacenter "test" |Get-Folder "CISCO UCS B200 M3"|Get-VMHost |Get-Datastore "datastore*" | select name,DatastoreBrowserPath
$source = 'D:\Test ' # -- this folder
foreach ($datastore in $ds){
Copy-DatastoreItem -Item $source -Destination $datastore.DatastoreBrowserPath -Recurse
}

Error e/s download large vmdk file to the data store
Hi, I am looking to download a large file (400 GB) vmdk to our SAN by using the method of the vsphere client browser store data but get IO error when it gets to about 270 GB. Is there a limit to how big a file can be? any other recommended method?
Thank you

What is the version of VMFS (VMFS3 or VMFS5) of the data store? In the case of VMFS3 there are limitations on file size depending on the block size of the data store (for example, 1 MB block size-> ~ 256 GB).

VMX file larger than the maximum size supported by the data store
Hi all
I seem to be getting a strange error trying to a virtual machine that is located on a snapshot VMFS5, to the data store format.
The virtual machine (VMDK and VMX file) is installed on a thin provisioned 2 TB datastore which has the value VMFS5 formatting. It is a data store new with no other VM on it. I had problems in the past with the datastore block sizes (1 MB, 2 MB, 4 MB, 8 MB on VMFS3), however, I thought that VMFS5 got rid of the question, since it's all blocks of 1 MB and all files in the virtual computer are on the same data store.
The error I get indicates that the VMX file is too large for the data store (used Im saying "unspecified file), however, if I do the independent 2 TB disk snapshots through the fine. The virtual machine has two virtual disks, a 50 VMDK of GB and a thin 2 TB VMDK (200 GB used). I tried fast vMotioning the VMDK and VMX to other data formatted VMFS5 stores and still get the same error.
I'd appreciate any help and ideas.
Thank you
Travis
Although the block size limit is party, maximum 2 TB file size less 512octets still exists. Since a Flash disk can grow waist put in service the basic disk more overhead for the metadata, the maximum size of virtual disk - to be able to create snapshots - is 2032 GB.

Hello
It's on 11.2.2.4.1
If I move my data store files (ds0, ds1, etc.) to a new location, is there a way to get TimesTen use from the new location?
I tried moving them and update the sys.odbc.ini but get * 10003: unexpected database file exist for new data store * which I suppose is because the TT daemon keeps a record of location of data of the DSN file, as seen in ttStatus.
I have to go through a route of backup/restore (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18283_01/timesten.112/e13063/upgrade.htm) to move data files a data store?
Thank you.Yes, if you want to re - locate the control point files or transaction logs you must proceed as follows:
1 stop all activities demand etc. on the data store.
2. make a full backup using ttBackup.
3. remove the data of the memory store.
4. destroy the datastore usign ttDestroy.
5. change the Datastore or LogDir attributes in sys.odbc.ini to point to the new locations.
6. restore the backup data store using ttRestore
7. you can now start and use the data store.
It is the change of safely / supported only the location of the files in the data store.

The virtual disk is too large to create a snapshot on a 4MB block size data store. The maximum size of VMDK is 1,016 Go.

Block size is too small - reformat the data store or create files VMDk 2?
Hello
I'm new to VMware and so far I absolutely love everything about her! Well, I was not too happy when I realized that I can't create more than 256 GB a drive without reformatting the VMFS datastore. Apparently, I accepted the block size of 1 MB by default during the installation... I now need to configure a file server with about 500 GB of storage. The data store with a larger block size (4 MB would be fine for me) reformatting is easy enough? I am currently working on the first host ESXi 4.1 and will move to set up 2 more hosts in the coming weeks. I read somewhere on the forum that ESXi 4.0 doesn't let you change the block size by default of 1 MB - is this true or relevant to 4.1?
Currently, I have only 2 small VMs on that host, and these can be easily saved and put offline for a few hours, if necessary. When starting the server, I created a single RAID array that holds ESXi and all virtual machines - does that mean that I have to reinstall ESXi in order to increase the size of the block?
An alternative that I can get to is to simply create 2 255 GB VMDK each and load distribution of storage in the guest operating system (Win 2008). Performance wise, is a disc more great and better (or worse) than the two smaller disks?
On a related note, what should I choose for the "Independent" option when you add a new virtual disk? Default is disabled (not independent).
Your thoughts, focus and expertise are welcome and will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Dothan
Dothan,
You should power (after the virtual machine backup) remove the current data store and create a new one with the new block size. I did not have this on ESXi 4.1 again, however, he worked on ESXi 4.0.
The maximum size of VMDK. If you want ot be able to take pictures, make sure you subtract twice the size of block in GB of the documented maximum size.
Block size 1 MB--> 254 GB (= 256 GB, 2 GB)
Block size of 2 MB--> 508 GB (= 512 GB - 4 GB)
Size of block 4 MB--> GB 1 016 (= 1 024 GB - 8 GB)
Block size of 8 MB--> GB 2 032 (= 2 048 GB to 16 GB)

EDIT: Just the KB for the maximum sizes. http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1012384

Copy of VM in the data store to the ext4 Linux file system
Hi all, I need to "backup" VM by copying its folder in the data store to
a Linux system with the ext4 file system. Is it safe? I mean will benefit from the VM
corrupted? I remember reading in the forum about ESXi4 vmfs is a
Special file system that may have the particularity, others do not have.
Thus, the copy of the files to another file system vmfs can corrupt the
files?
What do you think? Thank you.
Hello
No, it won't corrupt VM or VMDK files simply by copying the folder. However, in the guest operating system (e.g. NTFS) file system may be affected. Suggest you take a snapshot or use some backup software.
If you can afford it, powering the theVM. This will ensure the consistency of applications within the guest OS.
